Jerry Harrison, from left, David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, of the band Talking Heads pose for a portrait to promote the film “Stop Making Sense” during the Toronto International Film Festival, Sept. 11, 2023. A long time ago, in a record store far, far away — well, not that far, but it WAS decades ago — I walked out of Cymbaline Records on Center Street with three albums: The Pretenders, The Ramones “Rocket to Russia” and something called “Talking Heads ’77.
Harrison agreed that their first album was unique. “We got that a lot,” he said. “It was a unique time for music. When we first came out, a lot of people had no idea what our influences were. Then we covered ‘Take Me to the River’ and people realized that R&B was our big influence.” Harrison came to the band from Jonathan Richman’s Modern Lovers — another pioneering outfit from that period.
They toured frequently as a quartet, with Harrison trading off keyboard and lead guitar, depending on the song. “The longer we played together, the more adept David and my guitar playing together became. We played off each other in a really good way. I would pick what instrument was best for each song and go back and forth and we would go from there.”
There’s also a local connection to the “Stop Making Sense” reissue. I spoke with filmmaker James Mackoski recently. He was raised in Aromas, studied film at UCSC, and worked as an archivist in Los Angeles. After a few years, he wanted to get back to the Bay Area and was fortunate in 2002 to be hired by Francis Ford Coppola to “rein in their collection and get it properly catalogued.” James soon worked on the preservation of films including “The Outsiders” and “Cotton Club.
